Flutterby™! : Drop.io

Nice: I think we've mentioned that we've got a friend who's in some severe medical distress. She's currently drifting in and out of consciousness in the ICU, hopefully recovering, but we're soliciting any input we can from her friends, who are arranged around the world, to give her a reason to pull through.

Some folks are having trouble recording MP3s on their own. Drop.io just let me set up a free account, attach a phone number plus extension which I could call and record a message, and then let me download that message as MP3.

Download was kinda slow, but it was free, I was trying to download immediately after recording (there may have been some post-processing happening), so who am I to complain?

Also sure that there are other services which do this, this was just the first one I found.
